Exploring the effects of algorithm-driven news sources on political behavior and polarization

作者：

Highlights：

• Non-algorithmic/algorithmic news impact pol. behavior and polarization differently.

• Using algorithmically generated news sources leads to higher political participation.

• Non-algorithmic news sources fail to predict political participation.

• Neither algorithmic nor non-algorithmic news sources impact political polarization.
